The Perfect Score
by Beth
Albright
Ginny
Bloom Hunnicutt is crawling back home to Cottonwood Cove Alabama-- her
promising CNN news-reporting career in shambles when an on-air flub cost her
the job and cost CNN a lawsuit. Putting ego aside, she takes a position at the
Chatterbox – the local weekly newspaper run by her mother, the town gossip.
What’s a southern belle to do in a crisis but run home to her mama?
But when a mysterious
hot high school football coach rolls into town, Ginny’s luck begins to change.
Seems he has more secrets than a shady politician and Ginny’s determined to dig
up the truth, and write the story that will get her career back on track.
Everyone knows in a small, southern town, nothing stays private.
But the more she
delves into his past, the more she begins to fall for the former college
football star.
The coach’s star
player has some secrets of his own and when Ginny uncovers it all, she must
decide if she should reveal everything or follow her heart and protect the
people she has grown to care for.
"Author Beth Albright
weaves a saucy southern tale filled with intrigue, romance and laugh out-loud
comedy. From the bright lights of Friday night football to the darkened bedroom
of unexpected lovers, it’s a richly layered story with more twists and
turns—and mud, than an Alabama back road."
Excerpt
“I’ll have
another,” I said as I ordered my second dirty martini. The Sand Box was a dingy
little bar near the pier in Cottonwood Cove, Alabama.
Covered in
fishing ropes and other remnants of the life on the lake, the place was a dive
for the small-towns folk who lived here, and for the kids who were lake rats
during the summer. But summer had ended weeks ago, the kids back at school, and
we were well into September now. Late that night, the place was nearly empty.
I sat there
nursing my drink, drowning myself in what I had come to believe was the most
embarrassing moment of my career. The dim lights swung in old metal fixtures
from the ceiling of the Sand Box. A jukebox playing Hank Williams Jr. stood
missing some of its colored lights in the corner. A few old wooden tables were
scattered around with a couple of red vinyl booths shoved in the corner near
the pool table and dartboard.
I had come
home, tail tucked neatly between my legs, to lick my wounds. My name is
Virginia Bruce Hunnicutt. I go by Ginny. My sisters and I all have my mom’s
maiden name as our middle name. I kept it as my last name for my TV job. Ginny
Bruce, reporting. I was a reporter for CNN in Atlanta. Was being the key word
here. I had been fired two weeks prior because one of my sources was a fake. I
swear I checked the credentials but the story turned out to be full of
inaccuracies and CNN is now in a lawsuit. I may never work in the media again.
And CNN was my dream job.
My name is
now as muddy as the Alabama red dirt, which is exactly where I ran home to:
Cottonwood Cove, Alabama. It’s the safest place to be. And even though I had
become quite the big city girl, the one I had always dreamed of being, somehow,
the safety of being home in Cottonwood Cove had its perks. Like being in this
dive bar in the middle of the week late at night, with only one other soul in
here besides me. Oh, God—and he was making his way over to me just as I was
finishing my second round.
“What’s your
poison?” he asked in his deep sexy baritone. He was beautiful. Rugged and
sculpted with dark wavy hair and gorgeous lips; he was about six foot three and
deliciously well built. His dark blue eyes undressed me as he moved closer to
me—or maybe that was just me thinking I’d be more comfortable with my clothes
off with this gorgeous man. He was dressed in a navy Polo button-down and
perfect fitting blue jeans. His large muscular thighs and broad defined shoulders
were evident even under his clothes. One dimple accentuated the right side his
cute, boyish face. He smiled at me like he was fixin’ to eat me up, and oh, I
was feeling like dessert as he slid in next to me at the bar. He looked like an athlete. Or a god. Come to
think of it, in Alabama, those are one in the same. Regardless, he was heaven
to look at, or maybe I was seeing him through double martini glasses. Probably
the latter since I only weighed about 125 pounds and I knew better than to have
more than two drinks. Ever.
“I’m having
dirty martinis,” I answered. “You?”
“I’ll have
the same,” he said to the bartender.

Author Bio
Beth Albright
is the author of the award-winning, best-selling series The Sassy Belles. After
knowing Beth for just a few short seconds you are sure to learn she is from
Alabama. No, its not the lilt of magnolia you can still catch in her voice, or
even the way she lovingly describes her undying love for her famous alma
mater's football champions. She will tell you she loves Tuscaloosa, even after
living quite literally all over the country. Though Beth has had a remarkable
career, from New York City to Hollywood, and all points in between, she has
never forgotten where she came from...and what she loves. That's why when it
came time to write, Beth had no choice but to write about Tuscaloosa and The
University of Alabama, and all the quirky people she still calls family, though
some do not actually share her bloodline!
Beth Albright
has always been a storyteller. After spending nearly 15 years in talk radio, as
a talk show host, playing the part of a principal character on the soap opera,
DAYS OF OUR LIVES, owning her own acting school and children’s theater, and
raising a son who was a nationally ranked figure skater, Beth has decided to
return to her roots; storytelling. When she was in the sixth grade, her teacher
gave her the floor every Friday to tell her stories. See, Beth was a talker, a
future talk show host in the making, and she was telling stories so much that
her teacher couldn’t teach. The teacher told 12 year old Beth if she would
begin writing her stories down, she would be allowed time to share those
stories with the class.
And she’s
been writing, AND talking ever since. Beth has interviewed Bob Hope, Oprah
Winfrey, Betty White, Wolfgang Puck and George Burns live from the Chinese
Theatre, as well as numerous other celebrities, and authors. Then Beth became a
principal character on Days of Our Lives. But through all of the excitement of
talk shows and soap operas, Beth loved telling stories to her audience the
most. With a degree in Journalism from her beloved University of Alabama, She
always remains true to her roots, born and raised in Tuscaloosa, “My
grandfather was the play by play announcer for the Crimson Tide in the 50s!”
Beth will proudly tell you. She is a
down homespun girl, although she currently lives in San Francisco with her TV
producer husband and her brilliant son. But her heart is always in Alabama.
